Bramm Yards Master Plan

[panamaniac]

Kitchener has a long list of "would be nice to haves".  New arena, new stadium (two actually - one for baseball), Olympic size swimming and diving facility,  And a convention centre.  Not sure that any of the should be in Bramm Yards, however.

A lot of those listed items could have been provided (Funded) by the Provincial/ federal government under a bid for the Canada Games or better yet the commonwealth games. Look at Edmonton, Hamilton and even London.  Unfortunately the security costs of those events has skyrockets so high that it is a hard sell (Impossible) to justify, even if we get legacy facilities that would provide community benefits for decades. That ship has sailed though. City leaders should have pushed for it in the 90's/00's.  We will be lucky to get a new arena in the next 2 decades.

Yes, I 've long thought that K-W should bid to host the Canada Summer Games.   Maybe in preparation for some day hosting the Commonwealth or Pan-Am Games (hey, if Hamilton can do it ...)
